Dalton Knecht Staying In Los Angeles
5 mins agoAccording to ESPN's Shams Charania, the trade between the Lakers and Hornets involving center Mark Williams and guard Dalton Knecht was rescinded. The deal was contingent on both players passing a physical. While Knecht had a clean bill of health, it was a different story for Williams. Per Charania, the Lakers medical staff discovered "multiple issues" during Williams' exam, none of which were related to his previous back injury. As far as Knecht is concerned, he'll head back to Los Angeles, a team that recently acquired Luka Doncic (calf) from the Mavericks in exchange for Anthony Davis (abdomen). The 23-year-old hasn't been a consistent fantasy option. But he has at least averaged 14.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and shot 39.3% from deep in 12 starts. With that in mind, redraft managers likely won't receive routine production from Knecht moving ahead, although he should have at least a few solid outings before the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
